BTS Are Bright 'Lights' On New Japanese Single: Watch

Throughout “Lights,” the members offer up advice about how they and their listeners can face the world in a positive way despite hardships. "I don't wanna listen to just happy songs/ I'll face my loneliness, color my life/ Losing and gaining, but I'm still searching for something today,” contemplates J-Hope. "Decide for yourself what it means to be happy," suggests RM. “Every day, take a step to grow.” "But it's okay sometimes to show weakness/ It's okay to be you," advises Jimin.

The accompanying music video for the song shows the group reflectively interacting with one another, predominantly a movie theater, potentially tying it in with their music video for “Boy With Luv,” which featured the act performing in front of a theater. 

The new single fronts BTS’ 10th Japanese single album Lights/Boy With Luv, which was also released today and features not only "Lights," but also Japanese versions of the group's hits, "Boy With Luv," which was released on this year’s Billboard 200 chart-topping EP Map of the Soul: Persona and featured Halsey in the original Korean version, as well as "IDOL," which fronted last year's No. 1 album Love Yourself: Answer.
